00:00 War, they say, is an expensive business, and when so much money is made available for a
00:05 project, you know people begin to come up with the dreamiest ideas.
00:09 Of course, you'd also agree that warfare has led to the biggest technological leaps
00:14 with each country constantly trying to have the most advanced artilleries to protect themselves
00:19 from other nations.
00:20 Seemingly, these guys draw up inspiration from science fiction movies and produce huge
00:26 vehicles and advanced technologies.
00:28 In this video, we'll show you some of the world's most insane military vehicles and
00:32 tech ever made.
00:34 Get ready to be blown away.
00:36 You'd never imagine what some of these machines are capable of.
00:39 Let's jump right in.
00:43 The Bereev BE-200 No, they aren't about to drown this plane.
00:49 It's just a little demonstration of what the BE-200 can do.
00:53 The Bereev BE-200 is a versatile, amphibious aircraft designed by the Bereev Aviation Company.
00:59 Unlike other amphibious aircraft having float access panels, the BE-200's hull is constructed
01:05 of aluminum and lithium alloys designed in single step with a high length-to-beam ratio,
01:11 which contributes to the stability and maneuverability in water as well as when landing and takeoff.
01:16 Each of its hydraulically retractable landing gears comes twin-wheeled.
01:20 All its landing gears retract rearward while the water rudder is responsible for steering
01:24 in the water.
01:26 As a multi-role vehicle, this aircraft can be configured as a freighter, a passenger
01:30 aircraft, an air ambulance, or could be used as a firefighting aircraft.
01:35 The military version is said to be capable of being configured for an anti-submarine
01:39 warfare role.
01:40 Is there anything that this aircraft can't do?
01:45 Urban Aeronautics Air Mule The Cormorant, as it is otherwise called,
01:51 is an unmanned air vehicle designed and developed by Israel's Urban Aeronautics for the requirements
01:57 of the Israeli Defense Forces.
01:59 It's basically an unmanned flying vehicle that can haul up to a half a ton of payload
02:03 for an hour, meaning that for it to be used in a combat role, the military would likely
02:07 have to tow it to the desired outpost location before deploying it near potential mission
02:12 areas.
02:13 However, it's been dubbed the perfect companion for emergency renderers.
02:18 Perhaps its most significant feature is that it can fit in small places that choppers can't
02:22 reach, making it an essential machine in rescue missions.
02:26 Did I also mention it has vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability and can be operated
02:31 in areas helicopters and traditional rotorcraft wouldn't be able to fly?
02:36 Yep, it does.
02:37 The vehicle has been touted to be able to supply upwards of 3,000 combatants while carrying
02:42 wounded soldiers on its return trip.
02:44 Its flight accuracy and efficiency are unmatched even while operating in mainly combat surroundings.
02:50 Although measuring just about 20 feet long, it can hover accurately over a spot even in
02:54 the stormiest cases or winds up to 55 miles an hour.
03:00 The Black Hornet Drone When it comes to surveillance and intelligence
03:06 gathering, bigger isn't always better.
03:08 This is why the Black Hornet Drone was created.
03:11 While other UAVs or drones, which are now an integral part of any military, are extremely
03:16 large and can be shot down like fighters, the Black Hornet offers a bit of subtlety.
03:21 No bigger than a paper plane, the Black Hornet is a small helicopter that measures only 6.6
03:27 inches in length and weighs around 33 grams and can be carried around in a utility belt.
03:32 Don't let its small size fool you though, as it can fly 21.48 kilometers per hour for
03:37 nearly 25 minutes.
03:40 In addition, it's very stable when hovering and can withstand temperatures between -10
03:44 to 43 degrees Celsius.
03:46 Its advantages can't be overemphasized.
03:49 It helps preserve soldiers' lives by providing real-time recon, saves weight as it's pocket-friendly,
03:55 and minimizes collateral damage on the battlefield.
04:00 The Falkenes Vehicle Nicknamed the Punisher at first, this infantry-fighting
04:06 vehicle developed by the Russian Defense Ministry comes equipped with a two-axle chassis that
04:11 can be compared to the rally race version of KAMAZ.
04:14 This futuristic vehicle looks aggressive and acts the part as it's used for storming buildings
04:19 and eliminating terrorists from side gun slots, kinda like something Batman would use.
04:24 The multi-ton vehicle has a power output of 700 horsepower and can reach speeds of up
04:28 to 200 kilometers an hour even with 12 soldiers on board.
04:32 It's built in such a way the crew is protected from external machine gun fire, and its V-shaped
04:37 bottom keeps the blast waves of a detonated mine away.
04:40 The driver is protected by three armored glass plates positioned at an angle that provides
04:45 enhanced protection from enemy bullets.
04:48 Still, it kinda impedes the driver's forward field of vision, which is corrected by additional
04:52 video cameras.
04:54 Other features include doors that open in different directions providing cover during
04:58 a crossfire, two sections for machine gunners, and lateral blind spots that can be covered
05:03 with fire.
05:05 Dok-Ing MV4 Mine Clearance Drone If you're looking for a vehicle that will
05:11 take care of all types of anti-personnel mines and UXOs (unexploded ordinances), then the
05:16 MV4 is what you need.
05:18 This machine is designed by Dok-Ing specifically for humanitarian demining missions, and in
05:24 the event of it encountering anti-tank mines, it has the ability to withstand the detonation.
05:29 Isn't that awesome?
05:30 Its anti-tank mine detonation resistance has been proven as far back as 2004.
05:36 The machine is remotely controlled by an operator in an armored vehicle or at a safe distance
05:41 of up to 2,000 meters and can clear anti-personnel mines laid up to 320 mm deep.
05:47 Its mine clearance system was based on the previous MVersions.
05:51 The vehicle comes with a hardened steel frail attachment tool, attached with several hammers
05:56 at the end to perform mine clearance, soil treatment, and vegetation cleaning when the
06:00 appropriate additional attachments are added.
06:03 The 34 frail hammers activate the mines by exerting force on them.
06:07 The hammers and chains are easily swapped out if damaged in the explosion.
06:11 Too bad the Kingsmen didn't have one of these, Merlin wouldn't have died.
06:17 The Mega M1 Riot Control Vehicle Those familiar with the Fast and Furious movie
06:22 franchise must have seen something similar to this bad boy.
06:26 The vehicle seems like the product of a well-thought-out project as it features complete climate control,
06:31 CCTV system, weaponry, high-pressure water pumps with regulated nozzle pressure, a fire
06:37 extinguishing system, chemical additive tanks, lights, and reinforcement cargo space.
06:43 This super-maneuverable and fully-armored vehicle offers law enforcement personnel the
06:47 assurance to drive right into harm's way and come out unscathed.
06:51 It's powered by a Monster Cummins diesel engine, pumping out 325 horsepower and a massive
06:56 1,000 ft-lbs of torque, enabling the driver to push stationary vehicles out of the way
07:01 with relative ease.
07:03 It can also withstand multiple high-velocity rounds and shrapnel from detonation.
07:10 Gibbs Quad Ski Say hello to the first amphibious assault
07:15 bike ever made.
07:16 This quad ski is powered by an engine that allows it to reach up to 45 mph on both land
07:22 and water.
07:23 Its dependable performance, stability, and comfort are a result of a lightweight composite
07:27 hull, low center of gravity, and wide track.
07:30 It takes approximately 5 seconds after the push of a button to transition from a quad
07:34 ski to a jet ski.
07:36 It was first made as a recreational sport craft, and an amphibious snowmobile version
07:41 also exists for the pleasure of those who'd like to travel on land, water, or ice without
07:45 switching vehicles.
07:47 Even so, it has recently been used in Special Forces too.
07:51 TOS-1 Buratino Heavy Flamethrower System The TOS-1 heavy flamethrower was made for
07:58 one purpose and one purpose only - direct fire support of advancing infantry and main
08:04 battle tanks.
08:06 In simple terms, it rains hell on the enemy.
08:09 It was designed to take on military personnel, fortifications, and light armored vehicles.
08:14 Its flamethrower system is similar to multiple launch rocket systems, only it has a shorter
08:19 firing range, and by shorter firing range I mean 3.5 km.
08:23 It takes about 0.5 seconds for this flamethrower to launch a single rocket or a pair of rockets.
08:29 It comes with a modern fire control system in which the firing procedure is carried out
08:33 from the vehicle's safety, hence the crew isn't exposed to enemy fire.
08:40 Saab Skeldar The Skeldar is just like the urban aeronautic
08:45 airmule but smaller.
08:47 It's a medium-range VTOL, vertical take-off and landing UAV developed by a Swedish aerospace
08:52 company named Saab.
08:54 The Skeldar is designed so that it can take off and land on an area no wider than 15 by
08:59 15 meters and can be done autonomously.
09:02 This spectacular bit of tech can be used for surveillance, light-range cargo transportation,
09:07 intelligence gathering, and electronic warfare.
09:10 It's also modular, meaning that payloads can be changed depending on the mission objectives.
09:14 So it could be equipped with laser pointers, rangefinders, a light cargo hook, EO/IR 3D
09:20 mapping, and SIGINT (signal intelligence).
09:24 It could be operated on land and naval operation.
09:27 On land, it could be integrated into ground vehicles such as an APC or truck, while the
09:32 Navy could integrate its control system into a ship's normal operator consoles and combat
09:36 management systems.
09:38 I feel like some sort of super cool undercover agent talking about these awesome warfare
09:42 vehicles, don't you?
09:44 What cool military terms and tech would you be sharing with your friends when you're
09:47 done watching this video?
09:49 Let us know in the comment section below!
09:54 Corner Shot Did you ever imagine being able to shoot across
09:58 a corner when you played cops and robbers as a child?
10:00 Well, it might interest you to know that this is also every military personnel's dream.
10:05 I mean, who wouldn't like to shoot their enemies without exposing themselves to any return
10:09 fire?
10:10 And that's what the Corner Shot is for.
10:12 It allows military personnel to shoot across corners without having to expose themselves.
10:17 The Corner Shot device itself can be used with a range of pistols, making it flexible.
10:22 It has a downside, though.
10:23 The nature of the weapon means it only has an effective range of 100 meters.
10:27 Nonetheless, it's been used by several military people across the globe.
10:35 Catapult Rocket Launcher What do you think about catapulting rockets
10:39 into space?
10:40 Yeah, I mean taking a regular-sized rocket and practically slingshotting it into outer
10:46 space.
10:47 Sounds pretty crazy, right?
10:48 But when you learn about SpinLaunch's plan, you'll see how it could potentially change
10:52 the aerospace industry.
10:54 SpinLaunch, a Silicon Valley startup company, is developing a kinetic energy-driven launch
10:59 system to whip small satellites and rockets into orbit.
11:03 Their technology is based on the law of conservation of momentum that sees a rocket spinning in
11:07 a circle up to 5,000 miles per hour before being flung into orbit.
11:12 The idea is to use a vacuum-sealed centrifuge to spin the rocket at supersonic speed before
11:18 releasing it.
11:20 In one of their recent successful test runs, they launched a rocket, and it reached the
11:24 expected altitude, which is tens of thousands of feet, by the way, with 20% of the accelerator's
11:30 full power capacity.
11:31 However, their biggest selling point has to be that it's environmentally friendly, running
11:36 only on old-school electricity or from other clean sources of energy, as well as reducing
11:41 the size of rockets, complexities, and costs.
11:47 Red Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical System, or HI-MEMS
11:53 Another weapon system previously only seen in movies, this time in the form of bugs,
11:57 is the HI-MEMS, or HIMEMS.
12:01 It looks like nothing more than just a piece of chip strapped to the back of a beetle from
12:04 the first glance, but what you're looking at is a basic representation of technology
12:09 in the pipeline for decades.
12:11 Micro Air Vehicles, MAVs, and Micro Electric Mechanical Systems, MEMS, have been worked
12:17 on since the 1940s and are essentially cyborg bugs.
12:20 Catch that?
12:21 Cyborg bugs?
12:22 Well, these winged creatures have been trained or enslaved to do man's bidding.
12:27 These bugs have had technologies implanted in them since their larva and pupae stage
12:31 for the greatest chance of viability.
12:33 Stuff like cameras and tracking devices have been installed to provide perfect tracking
12:37 capabilities that would be so unassuming, perfect for spying on enemy bodies or even
12:43 a government's own citizens.
12:46 Hypersonic Missile X-51A Wave Rider
12:51 When Boeing decided to partner with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory to develop this
12:55 missile, you know something special was about to be invented.
12:58 The Hypersonic Missile X-51A Wave Rider is an unmanned research scramjet experimental
13:04 aircraft designed for hypersonic flights at 5,300 km/h at an altitude of 70,000 feet with
13:12 the possibility of reaching Mach 6 or 4,000 mph.
13:17 Since its development began in the 1990s, the American Air Force Research Lab has been
13:21 in charge of designing, developing, and testing the missile.
13:25 Although still in preparation, the X-51 has shown great promises during testing, reaching
13:30 speeds of over 3,000 mph.
13:33 The endgame is to have it launched from a B-52 bomber or F-35 fighter.
13:40 Adaptive Camouflage
13:43 You can't shoot what you can't see, right?
13:46 That's the main idea behind the design of the Adaptive Camouflage.
13:49 It masks the infrared signature of military vehicles, thereby shielding them from detection
13:54 and allowing them to blend in with their surroundings.
13:57 Think of it as a piece of tech that enables vehicles to shapeshift under thermal sensor
14:02 systems.
14:03 With this technology, thermal imaging systems have become obsolete.
14:06 Instead, you'll need another detection and missile firing system to take down a vehicle
14:11 with Adaptive installed.
14:13 Another huge advantage is that it ensures friendly fighting vehicles are offered some
14:17 sort of protection from initial detection.
14:19 It also can be used to highlight allied vehicles to friendly forces and prevent what's known
14:24 in military terms as "blue-on-blue incidents."
14:27 So how does it work?
14:28 It's made up of a honeycomb-like system that can be installed in modules on military
14:32 vehicles and heated or cooled at will to match the surrounding environment.
14:39 Robotic Combat Vehicle Light (RCVL)
14:43 In a bid to usher in a new era in modern warfare, the U.S. Army is reeling out a series of fully
14:48 remotely controlled robotic combat vehicles.
14:50 And these bad boys have been dubbed the deadliest robotic combat vehicles yet.
14:55 RCVL is a small and expandable robotic vehicle jointly developed by British multinational
15:01 defense technology company Kinetic Group in conjunction with American military vehicles
15:05 developer Pratt Miller Defense to aid ground combat operations.
15:10 This invention further proves that we're actually closer to deploying robots for war than we
15:15 think.
15:16 The vehicle can either be remotely controlled by a soldier or operated on a semi-autonomous
15:20 basis along the programmed routes.
15:23 The RCVL is one of the two EMAV produced and will enhance warfighter mobility and lethality
15:29 while transporting supplies efficiently.
15:31 This diesel-electric hybrid vehicle is fully equipped with a remote turret for the 25mm
15:36 main gun, sensors, high-resolution 360-degree situational awareness cameras, navigation
15:42 equipment, a small drone system, the CROWS 2 common remotely operated weapon station
15:46 2, the .50 caliber M2 machine gun, and the 40mm MK19 Mod 3 automatic grenade launcher.
15:55 Laser Weapon System (LAWS)
15:58 The laser weapon system is basically what it sounds like, a ship-mounted laser cannon.
16:04 However, there's more than meets the eyes with LAWS.
16:06 This laser system is famed for its pinpoint targeting and destruction of enemy assets,
16:11 including hidden small targets like enemy craft engines.
16:15 To fully appreciate the work of this tech, you'll need to see the laser in action.
16:19 There's also the advantage of being more cost-effective and effective when compared with traditional
16:23 projectiles weaponry because it only needs sufficient power to fire.
16:28 On the other hand, traditional missiles would have to be built, transported, stored, and
16:32 maintained for them to be used.
16:36 Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance
16:39 Looks like the upgrades you buy in a video game, the technology makes it possible to
16:43 hit a target from a long range, regardless of the conditions.
16:47 The Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance was built by DARPA to essentially be a self-steering
16:52 guided bullet made for military snipers to improve their accuracy over long-range shots
16:57 in unfavorable conditions such as moving targets or high winds.
17:02 Basically a smart bullet, the ammo can hone in on targets and even adjust itself mid-air
17:07 to compensate for target movement or changes in wind speed.
17:11 The end product is a round that can even be fired by a total newbie shooter and still
17:16 be able to land a hit with near pinpoint accuracy at long range.
17:20 That's some sick tech right there.
17:24 The Bell AH-1Z Viper
17:28 Dubbed the most advanced attack helicopter in the world, the Bell AH-1Z Viper is one
17:34 vehicle that lives up to its billing.
17:36 It's the kind of helicopter you call on when you need supreme close air support.
17:41 The AH-1Z Viper is a U.S. modern attack helicopter that's the latest iteration in the AH-1
17:47 family of combat vehicles.
17:49 The AH-1Z is both an upgrade of the earlier AH-1W airframes and newly built airframes.
17:56 Its airframe technologies include avionics, state-of-the-art defense systems, electro-optical
18:01 sensors and rich weapon options.
18:04 It has a sitting for a pilot and a gunner.
18:06 For firepower, it houses the 20mm M197 triple-barrel autocannon for which 750 rounds are carried
18:13 in a linkless feed system allowing for 1,500 shots to be fired per minute.
18:18 Each of its hardpoints can be fitted with four AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles.
18:24 Alternatively, a 7 or 19-tube rocket pod for the Hydra 70 series of aerial rockets can
18:30 be installed.
18:32 While the wingtip can be equipped with an infrared-guided AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air
18:36 missile, it's the only helicopter in the world with fully integrated air-to-air missiles.
18:41 With all these capabilities, it can engage and defeat a wide range of threats before
18:45 they even know it's there.
18:50 Mars Perseverance Rover It's only a matter of time before humans
18:55 colonize Mars.
18:57 Believe it or not, plans are already in motion to make this once lofty idea a reality, and
19:01 one of the technologies that would aid this cause is the Mars Perseverance Rover.
19:06 It's the heaviest, largest, most sophisticated vehicle ever sent to the Red Planet.
19:11 It's saddled with answering the longest-standing questions humans have about Mars.
19:15 Equipped with advanced computational capabilities, scientific instruments, and other advanced
19:20 interplanetary systems, it's charged with the responsibility of searching for signs
19:24 of ancient microbial life, categorizing the planet's geology and climate, carefully
19:29 collecting selected rock and sediment samples from this treacherous planet for the future
19:33 return to Earth, and paving the way for human exploration beyond the Moon.
19:38 For a vehicle just commissioned in 2020, it has shown greater promise than its last three
19:42 predecessors.
19:43 The vehicle is currently "on Mars" with a return campaign being planned.
19:48 We can only just fantasize of what mysteries it uncovers.
19:53 The RT-01 Transport Vehicle Looking like a vehicle straight out of a
19:58 sci-fi movie, the RT-01 Transport is an eight-wheeled armored heavy exploration vehicle built for
20:05 stability and doggedness.
20:07 The vehicle, created by Weyland Industries, is used to ferry the crew of the USCSS Prometheus,
20:13 a space exploration vehicle, to and from the ship.
20:16 It also happens to be among the company's most popular units.
20:20 This shape-memory alloy wheel system has nano-reinforced hard composite treads that can take up to
20:26 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
20:28 With a ceramic gas turbine that has 400,000 pounds of thrust, it can practically carry
20:34 unlimited cargo along with a personnel bay that fits up to 20 occupants.
20:38 If you found a way to lift your entire house, you can just put it on this beast and move
20:42 it to a new location.
